Sadly #bcon25 is already at an end and I can't visit the HQ tomorrow due to my plane leaving early but I have to admit this was one of the best experiences ever. It was again, as always, wonderful to meet all the amazing and creative people, but what made it truly unforgettable this year was going there together with the critter crew 💜

Also I held my first own talk and participated as one of the speakers at a second. Contributing to one of my favourit conferences made it even more special.

30 June 1928 | A Hungarian Jewish girl, Elizke Hantala Szabo, was born.

In 1944 she was deported to #Auschwitz. She did not survive.

I'm going to start listing some good things that have happened in society, and I know a lot of you are going to want to say, Well, that's all over now, it will all be taken away, but remember nothing lasts forever, even the bad stuff. So, instead of giving into despair and hopelessness, think for a second, and instead of tearing down hope, add to the list.

The idea that we would have open legal gay marriage in my lifetime wasn't something I believed would happen, but here we are.

I can buy legal recreational Marijuana in my state.

The show Drag Race not only exists, but it has for a long time, and it's very popular.

AIDS is no longer a death sentence.

And to add to that, you can take a drug that will just stop you from getting it.

There is a vaccine for Malaria.

I can just go buy an electric car.

When I was a kid, parents hitting kids was the rule, not an exception.

In my teens and 20's, I never met a transitioned or transitioning Trans person, now I know lots of them.

Abortion pills exist.

There are tenant union.

There is a vaccine against cervical cancer.

Women make up more than half of the college educated work force.

Millions of people showed up to protest police brutality in 2020, I know that's not enough, but if you compare that to the past, or even Rodney King, it's a big fucking deal.

Things are rough, and we are scared, but we haven't just been treading water, and we won't just sit in misery. It's never going to be perfect, but we can be better.
